Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a self-powered graphene / SiC heterojunction ultraviolet photoelectric detector, and belongs to the field of semiconductor devices. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development and progress of modern production and life technology, the design requirements for sensor systems in different application scenarios are becoming higher and higher, such as space exploration, monitoring of toxic or harmful conditions on submarines or warships. With the continuous development of sensor systems, their structures have become more and more complex, and the number of internal detectors has increased, which undoubtedly poses a huge challenge to the energy supply of the entire sensor system. At present, most traditional detectors use batteries to maintain the operation of the entire system. When the number of detectors increases, the battery-powered mode increases the structural complexity of the entire system, resulting in an increase in the size and weight of the sensor system. In addition, traditional sensor systems require staff to regularly maintain and replace batteries. For sensor equipment set in dangerous and extreme environments, this not only increases the operating cost of the system, but also poses a threat to the life safety of staff. These problems will bring great difficulties to the further development of sensor systems. The emergence of self-powered detectors and related research enable devices to continue to work without external power, which greatly reduces the complexity of the entire system design and provides a possibility for solving the above problems.

[0003] The self-powered technology in semiconductor photodetection devices is mainly based on the photovoltaic effect, pyroelectric effect, etc., most of which are achieved by constructing PN junctions or Schottky junctions. However, it is difficult to achieve high-quality p-type doping in most semiconductors, so most of the reported self-powered UV photodetectors basically use vertical Schottky junctions to construct the self-powered system. However, these Schottky junction photodetectors inevitably require high-quality Schottky contacts on the semiconductor surface, which also increases the difficulty and cost of device preparation. Therefore, how to achieve a simple and reliable self-powered system in UV photodetectors is of great research significance.

[0004] As a two-dimensional material with excellent performance, graphene can not only be used to construct photodetectors, but also capture and store energy. Therefore, it plays an important role in various self-powered sensing systems, such as acting as a flexible electrode and forming a Schottky junction with semiconductor materials. Silicon carbide (SiC), as a third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor material, has the characteristics of large bandgap width, high critical breakdown electric field strength, fast carrier saturation migration velocity, and high thermal conductivity. Due to different atomic arrangements, SiC has a large number of allotropes, among which 4H-SiC has greater advantages in the preparation of ultraviolet photodetectors. For SiC epitaxial graphene, its naturally formed graphene / SiC heterojunction interface can avoid the heterostructure construction process in the preparation of ultraviolet photodetectors, thereby making it easier to build a self-powered system, greatly reducing the production cost of the device and the required process complexity.

[0005] For SiC carbon surface (000-1) epitaxial multilayer graphene, it does not have a transition layer structure, so there is basically no interaction between graphene and SiC substrate, showing the characteristics of random orientation, forming a disordered rotational stacking arrangement. This disordered rotational stacking arrangement leads to weak interaction between graphene / SiC layers, making it exhibit electrical properties similar to single-layer graphene, that is, its dispersion relation near the κ point shows a linear Dirac cone structure similar to single-layer graphene, so it has a higher carrier mobility. This makes carbon-surface graphene / SiC more promising in the preparation of high-frequency power electronic devices.

[0006] Patent document CN108231953B (CN201711482215.1) discloses an MSM structure 4H-SiC ultraviolet photodetector with a graphene transparent electrode. It epitaxially grows a semi-insulating layer on an n-type 4H-SiC substrate, cuts the sample into rectangular strips, grows a Si-surface multilayer graphene film by an electrolytic thermal method, and prepares an ultraviolet photodetector with an MSM structure by photolithography patterning and ICP etching process. The multilayer graphene film on the Si surface of the detector cannot form a heterojunction, so it has no self-powered and position response characteristics. Patent document CN113707757A (202110779389.4) discloses a method for regulating the light response performance of an ultraviolet photodetector. The method uses photoresist as a protective layer to regulate the aspect ratio of the graphene strips on the surface of the sample through an oxygen plasma treatment process, thereby improving the detector light response speed and responsiveness. However, the detector does not construct a heterojunction between graphenes of different structures, and does not have self-powered and position-responsive characteristics.

[0007] So far, self-powered technology for graphene / SiC ultraviolet photodetectors has not been reported. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simple and efficient method for preparing epitaxial graphene / SiC heterojunction ultraviolet photodetectors with self-powered characteristics. Summary of the invention

[0008] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing a self-powered graphene / SiC heterojunction ultraviolet photodetector.

[0009] The ultraviolet photoelectric detector prepared by the invention not only has self-power supply, but also has the light spot position response characteristic.

[0010] Explanation of terms

[0011] PN junction: Through processes such as epitaxy, dopant diffusion or ion implantation, P-type semiconductor and N-type semiconductor are produced on the same semiconductor substrate. The boundary or interface between these two semiconductor materials is called a PN junction.

[0012] Bandgap width: Bandgap width refers to the width of a band gap (in electron volts (ev)). The energy of electrons in solids cannot be continuous, but rather a number of discontinuous energy bands. To conduct electricity, there must be free electrons or holes. The energy band where free electrons exist is called the conduction band, and the energy band where free holes exist is called the valence band. In order for bound electrons to become free electrons or holes, they must obtain enough energy to jump from the valence band to the conduction band. The minimum value of this energy is the bandgap width.

[0013] Heterojunction: The interface region formed by the contact of two different semiconductors. According to the different conductivity types of the two materials, heterojunctions can be divided into homogeneous heterojunctions and heterogeneous heterojunctions. Usually, the conditions for the formation of heterojunctions are: the two semiconductors have similar crystal structures, similar atomic spacing and thermal expansion coefficients.

[0014] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0015] A method for preparing a self-powered graphene / SiC heterojunction ultraviolet photodetector comprises the following steps:

[0029] The partially protected photoresist protective layer of the interdigitated finger-like structure is treated with oxygen plasma. The oxygen plasma treatment regulates the electronic structure of the SiC epitaxial graphene. The unprotected interdigitated finger-like structure graphene produces vacancy defects, which lowers the Fermi level of graphene, increases its work function, and gradually transforms its doping type to p-type.
